Chapter 710 - This Is My Husband
Chapter 710: This Is My Husband
The windows were open and light streamed in.
The surrounding trees swayed and rustled.
There was a faint scent of roses in the air, it was elegant and delicate.
The rest of the decoration wasn’t complicated, but it gave people a sense of luxury and leisure.
The atmosphere within this ward was completely different from the rest of the hospital, although Li Beinian did not forget that she was indeed in a hospital.
How is this a ward? It’s more like a home.
The girl secretly smacked her lips. Then, her gaze fell on the hospital bed, that was also different from the standard hospital bed.
There was a man lying on it. He looked very young, no more than 30 to 40 years old. He was handsome and had deep set facial features.
However, his hair was black and same for his eyes. Apart from the fact that his skin was fairer than the average Xia Nation person, he did not seem to be very different.
The moment Li Beinian entered, Nico’s gaze fell on her.
When their eyes met, Nico’s eyes immediately lit up.
Will came forward and said, “Nico, Miss Beinian is here. This other lady is Miss Beinian’s mother, Madam Tang.”
Li Beinian glanced at Nico’s left leg, which was covered in a thick cast. She greeted him. “Hello.”
Nico tried to hide his eagerness and nodded. “Hello, I’m Nico.”
When Tang Xiaoge saw Nico, she couldn’t help but take a few more glances. Her expression was a little strange as she asked Nico, “Nico? What a familiar name. What’s your surname?”
The other three people in the ward turned to look in his direction.
Tang Xiaoge said, “A long time ago, I knew a Nico who was a good friend of my friend.”
Will smiled and quickly said, “Nico isn’t a rare name.”
Hence, it was normal to have the same name.
Everyone understood and Tang Xiaoge replied with a smile, “That’s true. There are so many people with the same name in Xia Nation, let alone in England. Is Mr. Nico still feeling unwell?”
Will said, “Thank you for your concern. Nico is much better today.”
“That’s good. Ultimately, my daughter was in the wrong. She was in a bad emotional state and ended up harming you. I’m really sorry. Beinian, apologize to Mr. Nico.” Tang Xiaoge looked at Li Beinian with a rare solemn expression.
Li Beinian was a little surprised.
Tang Xiaoge was rarely like this.
However, in front of outsiders, Li Beinian obeyed and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Nico. Something happened to my husband yesterday and his whereabouts was unknown, so I was in a bad emotional state. I was in a daze when I was driving, which led to the accident. I’m really sorry.”
Li Beinian apologized sincerely. She continued, “I will bear your medical bills. When the time comes, give me a list and I will compensate you fully.”
Tang Xiaoge was shocked and said, “Beinian, this isn’t a normal medical consultation. How much do you have to spend…”
Li Beinian held Tang Xiaoge back and looked at Nico apologetically. “I was the one who hit someone first and delayed Mr. Nico’s time. I also damaged Mr. Nico’s car. Don’t worry, I will be responsible for the repair fees.”
Tang Xiaoge’s heart almost jumped out of her chest.
What car was that?
A limited edition Rolls-Royce!
That repair fee would doubtlessly be a considerable sum!
Even though she knew that Mu Xichen had the ability to compensate this amount, it not to say that the man wouldn’t have any objections to such a hefty sum.
Besides, the medical bills for normal treatment would never cost so much!
Normal people did not have to hire experts, change wards, hire special carers, or hire chefs like them. All these required money!
At least a few hundred thousand yuan? Maybe even a seven-digit figure!
Tang Xiaoge was a little frightened. She tugged at Li Beinian and tried to stop her.
Li Beinian seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at Nico and asked, “What do you think?”
Li Beinian was confident.
Although she seemed to be at a disadvantage, in reality, having a butler and being able to afford all these frills, it only meant that he came from an extraordinary background.
Putting everything else aside, all these things he had done so far implied that his wealth status was at least above Mu Xichen’s.
Li Beinian couldn’t estimate the specifics, but the connections and power that such a person might have, may be beyond her imagination.
Li Beinian did not know if she could afford to offend such a person.
Rather than making things unpleasant, it was better for her to be more tactful. At least if they were on friendly terms, at worst, they might have to compensate him a few million or a few tens of million yuan. It would still be a good deal for the sake of keeping peace.
It was hard to tell what Nico was thinking. He looked at Li Beinian deeply and quickly looked away. “It’s fine, really.”
It was a simple reply in a foreign accent.
When Will heard this, he smiled politely and said, “Miss Beinian, we don’t need the medical fees and repair fees. However, Nico likes to eat the thick soup personally brewed by Madam Tang. If possible, could you please let her be in charge of Nico’s meals?”
When Will said this, he looked back at Nico as if he was afraid of being contradicted.
Fortunately, Nico didn’t say anything.
When Tang Xiaoge heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said, “Sure, it’s a small matter! Mr. Nico came to Xia Nation for a vacation, right? I’m good at preparing all the top eight cuisines in Xia Nation! I can cook anything you wish to eat!”
All else aside, Tang Xiaog didn’t grow this big through sitting around.
When she was younger, she was especially thin. Later on, she learned how to cook, and after that, she became unstoppable.
As a result, her 180 cm height and 200 kg figure was particularly spectacular.
However, Li Beinian felt that it was inappropriate and said, “Your medical fees and caregiver fees are not insignificant. I will feel bad if I do nothing about it.”
“Will you feel bad?” Nico suddenly asked, repeating Li Beinian’s words.
He spoke with an accent and sounded a little awkward, but he also spoke fluently.
Finally, Nico looked up at her and said, “May I make a request of you, then?”
Li Beinian hesitated for a moment and said, “Please say what’s on your mind.”
“I can’t move my leg, so I can’t go back to my country for the time being. Will you come and chat with me whenever you have some time?”
Such a request?
Li Beinian was a little surprised. Just as she was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.
Will straightened up and smiled politely. “Hold on, let me go take a look.”
Will’s footsteps were steady and unhurried. When he opened the door, Li Beinian saw Mu Xichen.
She immediately turned around and said, “Mr. Will, this is my husband.”
As she spoke, she walked towards the door and past Will, towards Mu Xichen.
Mu Xichen looked much better than he did in the afternoon, but he was still pale.
Li Beinian placed her hands on his face and asked with great concern, “How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?”
